Molineux, 20, played all 14 games for the Renegades in WBBL|03 after being named Betty Wilson Young Cricketer of the Year Award in January 2017.

“We’re really lucky in Australia with the WBBL – it’s exposed me to this level of cricket and playing against international cricketers from a young age.

“It’s made the transition a little bit smoother.”

Australia will play England twice and has another match to come against India with the two highest ranked sides meeting in the tri-series T20 final on March 31.
